I bought these 3 and a half weeks ago from a breeder off Craigslist that said they were both hens and 6 months old. Last week the bigger one, that I was already beginning to suspect was a roo from the way it carried itself, did indeed start crowing. However the smaller one hasn't crowed and I know it could still be a few months before it might lay, so I thought I'd turn to the collective wisdom of BYC to see if its sex can be determined.

Here are the two of the birds together

Roo in the back, obviously. Now here are bunch of the unknown one.

Clearest close up shot I got that included the comb.

Thanks for any help provided!
